"Boo, You Whore!" Mean Girls 10 Years Later
10 Years Later: L - R Lacey Charbet, Rachel McAdams, Amanda Seyfried Lindsay Lohan & Tina Fey Photo: Ruven Afanador for Entertainment Weekly |
Regina George: I gave him everything... I was half a virgin when I met him!
Yes as all of us Mean Girls fans know the movie is officially 10 years old. "That's so fetch" - hey I am still trying to make that happen for you Gretchen Wieners and guess what? It still hasn't. Sorry I tried.
Mean Girls is a cultural phenomena, and every October the 3rd, when I get asked what day it is I give a swoon to the person posing the question in honor of Aaron Samuels.
Recently Entertainment Weekly got the stars of the film: Lindsay Lohan, Rachel McAdams, Amanda Seyfried, Lacey Charbet & it's creator Tina Fey together for a reunion photo shoot and interview.
In it they posed the question to each of the "girls" where they thought their character would be in the 10 years post High School, as in right now.
Here are their answers. Enjoy, while I work on my Burn Book, I'm so "plastic."

THE FUTURE
SEYFRIED: Karen would manage or own a store that sells really cool dog attire, like Swarovski dog collars and Halloween costumes for animals. She’s probably really focused.
LOHAN: Cady’s with Oprah in Africa working at children’s schools with a family, teaching girls to be nice to each other.
CHABERT: Gretchen is probably running the Toaster Strudel empire. She is probably married and has, like, seven babies right now. She and Jason worked it out. She has very big curly hair.
McADAMS: Regina is a Real Housewife. She’d have too much time on her hands, for sure. She’s probably found all her other Reginas.

Call to Action Initiative

Hey people it's November 4th, you know, Election Day, embrace your power, do it and do it now...!
Creative Organizer, Visual Street Artist & Fashion Photographer
Join Forces to Bring Attention to Importance of Voting
Local creative organizer Wyatt Closs, visual street artist Patrick Martinez, and fashion photographer Colin Young-Wolff have joined forces in an artful call to action, Embrace Your Power, Embrace Our Communities, to promote voting in Los Angeles. Particularly aimed at young people and disaffected communities who are apathetic about voting, the campaign centers on a neon artwork with text that urges passersby to “Embrace Your Power” (see image above). The sign, a whimsical play on neon palm reader signage, was positioned and documented in diverse communities around Los Angeles; the resulting images and videos are being distributed online through a variety of social media platforms to serve as a catalyst for political action. For additional information, please see http://bigbowlofideas.com/embrace.
“The goal of the Embrace Your Power, Embrace Our Communities sign project is to encourage community members to register and vote,” says Wyatt Closs, producer of the photo project, “Our strategy is to catch attention through dynamic visuals, something that is not traditionally seen in political communications. There’s no preaching at you or red, white, and blue.”

Embrace Your Power Student Action –
Closs, Martinez, and Young-Wolff are collaborating on behalf of a cluster of non-profit and community-based organizations as part of a larger Embrace Your Power campaign, spearheaded by youth activists in the Los Angeles area who are frustrated by immigration reform and hoping to effect change. Participants, some of whom have fasted for as long as a week, are calling attention to the humanitarian crisis on the U.S.-Mexican border.
Alarmed by reactions they saw to the Central American ‘border children’ fleeing violence, a group of students in Los Angeles took matters into their own hands. They decided to do a very public fasting to bring attention to the plight of the border children and to get the message out that children should be valued over politics. In addition to the fast, their actions also included a canned food and clothing drive for goods to be delivered to shelters and centers currently housing border children.
Many of the student activists are affiliated with the “Children Over Politics” video project, which encourages individuals to create videos in support of the cause, organized by the Service Employees International Union. Additional Embrace Your Power collaborators include United Long Term Care Workers, United Service Workers West, Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles, Carwash Workers Organizing Campaign, Councilman Gilbert Cedillo, CLUE LA, Headcount.org, and #GoVote.

Embrace Your Power, Embrace Our Communities Neon Sign & Photo Essay –
The neon sign and corresponding photo essay are designed to support the ongoing Embrace Your Powerstudent-led effort to get more young people to affect social change through political engagement. The art breaks with traditional forms of appeal used in politics to get people to vote while showing the beauty of Los Angeles’ ‘sleeping giant’ communities. In the photo essay images, the sign is juxtaposed against locations that represent the diverse communities of Los Angeles as well as the issues impacting those communities, such as clinics, schools and libraries, which require political engagement in order to thrive. The photo essay image and video assets are being shared online through a variety of social media platforms, in collaboration with participating non-profit and community-based organizations, through Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, YouTube, and Instagram. The project’s hope is that the campaign imagery will go viral in order to serve as a catalyst for political action.
“In a subtle, streetwise form, the message behind the entire Embrace Your Power campaign is: Make your own future by voting,” says Closs.

Margaret, Bloody Margaret Cho
Mrgaret Cho With Artist Vincent Castiglia: My Blood Is Cooler Than Your Blood... |
Margaret Cho got a painting made out of her own blood ... which I happen to think is awesome looking!
NYC artist Vincent Castiglia made a name for himself by painting with blood, so back in April she commissioned him to take 72 milliliters of her bodily fluid for a portrait.
Cho wanted Castiglia to use her menstrual blood ... but he put a plug in that idea because her production level was shall we say on the low side of the spectrum.
Cho wanted Castiglia to use her menstrual blood ... but he put a plug in that idea because her production level was shall we say on the low side of the spectrum.
The painting took six months to complete. A piece of bloody art normally cost around Twenty Thousand Dollars -- but since he and Margaret are friends, Castiglia hooked the comedian up with a discount that is just between them and their accountants.
Love it!!! Hey Vincent my blood is ready when you are!

Spencer James Please "Don't Shake A Baby"
Spencer James "Don't Shake A Baby"
available digitally on November 4th
It's Martin and Lewis, with a little dash of Sinatra and Sammy Davis Jr. mixed in.
James blends both music and dance into his stand-up for a show that's
both anti "jobs" and yet pro "fat kids."
Yeah it's Sunday, November 2nd that calls for a martini.
|
Spencer James's comedy career started very early on. At eleven years old, he was the fat kid always getting picked on by school bullies and being ignored by every girl around. An army brat who moved frequently throughout the US as well as internationally, he used stand-up to provide comic relief.
James has entertained audiences all over the country. He was the Winner of the 2014 World Series of Comedy in Las Vegas, Nevada and "Best of the Fest" at the 2014 Burbank Comedy Festival. He was also recently seen on the Fox television show "Laughs".
A sort of "personal reveal", his comedy reflects a variety of influences - Bill Cosby's storytelling; Mitch Hedberg's one liners; Richard Pryor's vulnerability. He admires Bill Hicks, Bill Burr and Christopher Titus for the openness they all share. His comedy gives us his unique perspective on those things in life that he finds funny or weird - stuff like guys in wheelchairs buying ladders at Home Depot.
He discusses his warped reactions to first time relationships. No longer the "fat kid", he continues to feel its influence on his life and uses it to fuel his comedy.
Currently residing in Denver, CO, where beautiful women abound, he still finds it difficult to relate to them and this provides an endless stream of comic opportunities.
